City Boy |
| Well, I came back to the city |
| And it wasn’t very pretty |
| It was dying |
| There were some who had more than they could eat |
| And other with no shoes up on their feet |
| They were crying |
| I saw a brother sell his brother |
| While the cops held another |
| They were laughing |
| I saw two dogs in the street |
| A black one and a white one |
| They were fighting |
| If it isn’t very pretty |
| Why do they stay in the city |
| And watch it dying? |
| Why don’t I go back to the country |
| And sit beneath a plum tree with my sweet little girl |
| And listen to her singin'? |
| It’s because I’m caught in a trap |
| Lord, and you know where that’s at |
| It sure ain’t the country |
| Oh, Lord knows, it ain’t the country |
| It’s because it’s the way I see it every night and day |
| I hope to change it |
| I’m just at city boy |
| City boy, that’s me |
| Hey! |
| City boy, city boy |
| Yeah, yeah, city boy |
| Oh Lord, city boy |
| (Burdon/Sterling) |
